David Showers, of the Northwest Arkansas Times, reports although he is listed as No. 2 on the depth chart Kansas City Chiefs LB Quinton Caver is looking for a starting spot. "Gunther (Cunningham, the Chiefs' defensive coordinator) reiterated that no starters are set in stone," Caver said. "Everything is open at camp." Caver hopes to be part of a resurgent Kansas City defense during the 2005 campaign. Cunningham has hinted at using a 3-4 alignment in passing situations this year, which would give Caver more opportunities to play. Cunningham's defense is unusual because the outside linebackers aren't distinguished by weak or strong designations. Caver thinks the defense will catch up with the offense. It will have to for the Chiefs to realize their potential. "We only have one goal," Caver said. "We want to get to Detroit for the Super Bowl."

Adam Teicher, of the Kansas City Star, reports for the Sporting News that Kansas City Chiefs LB Quinton Caver won the backup spot at strong-side linebacker during the off-season, allowing the team to release veteran LB Lew Bush earlier this month.
